STUDIES IN DRAMA
The definition of literature usually includes additional adjectives such as “aesthetic” or “artistic” to distinguish literary works from texts of everyday use such as telephone books, newspapers, legal documents, and scholarly writings. Etymologically, the Latin word “Litterature” is derived from “Littera ”(letter), which is the smallest element of alphabetical writing. The question, “What is Literature”? is not easily answered, whole books have been devoted to the topic. No single definition can satisfy everyone: furthermore, once a definition has been made, the limits that it imposes often make it inadequate for a least some writing that some people may want to call Literature.

Ideologies of Identity in Adolescent Fiction
Ideologies of Identity in Adolescent Fiction examines the representation of selfhood in adolescent and children's fiction, using a Bakhtinian approach to subjectivity, language, and narrative. The ideological frames within which identities are formed are inextricably bound up with ideas about subjectivity, ideas which pervade and underpin adolescent fictions. Although the humanist subject has been systematically interrogated by recent philosophy and criticism, the question which lies at the heart of fiction for young people is not whether a coherent self exists but what kind of self it is and what are the conditions of its coming into being. Ideologiesof Identity in Adolescent Fiction has a double focus: first, the images of selfhood that the fictions offer their readers, especially the interactions between selfhood, social and cultural forces, ideologies, and other selves; and second, the strategies used to structure narrative and to represent subjectivity and intersubjectivity.
